Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Well first off I'd like to say I'm the only guy I've seen interested in these books lol. I'm ok with that. Here are the series I've already read:

Vampire Academy,
Midnight Breed,
Immortals After Dark (2nd Favorite series)
Demonica
Dark Hunter
Fallen Angels
Lords of the Underworld
The Dark Ink Chronicles
Black Dagger Brotherhood (Favorite)
Night Huntress
Night Prince
Immortal Instruments
Immortals of N.O.
Fever Novels

I just started the Katie Daniels series. I've skimmed threads for a while now, not much has jumped out. I'm stuck waiting for BDB IOD and Fever Novels to come out with the new books. I wasn't a fan of the Midnight Breed or Night Prince series'. Hopefully I can get some help with this, if not here are some books you should check out. Thanks in advance.

HI Garrett, I've read most of these too :) Maybe check out Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series if you haven't already.

The Darkyn series by Lynn Viehl. If Angels Burn is has a lower rating but the series improves as the story arc progresses. The Kyndred is the spin-off series.

Also Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. There is an intertwining of 2 series Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega, which is best read according to the timeline on Briggs' website rather than all of one series and then all of the next. The first is Moon Called

Kate Daniels takes a couple of novels to get into, the world building is very complex and really takes the focus away from the storyline of the first novel. Also she is very big on complex mythology.

Vampires in America by DB Reynolds the first is Raphael

I am just starting Spider's Bite the first of Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassin series, but am not far in enough to give an opinion, but enjoying it so far.

Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter.

1st book

Sherrilyn Kenyon dark hunter series

Nalini Singh - Guild Hunter "Angel's Blood"

Kelley Armstrong - Women of the Otherworld Series "Bitten"

Kalayna Price - Alex Craft Series "Grave Witch"

Captured
My Wolf's Bane
Prince of Wolves
Tall, Dark & Lonely
Wicked

I'm a huge shifter fan. I don't know if these would work for you. Pix are first of the series and most are complete or close to it.



Jennifer Ashley's Shifter's Unbound -- They have their own town/ rules etc.

Terry Spears' Heart of the Wolf, Heart of the Jaguar, Heart of the Cougar -- Separate society within human world. Wolf different careers but Jaguar and Cougar are primarily officers and agents.

Lauren Dane's Cascadia Wolves (may be more erotic than you want) Live openly with humans as separate society. Mates pretty much human

Thea Harrison's Elder Races - living openly a variety of shifters

Suzanne Wright's Phoenix Pack - separate society in human world

Shelly Laurentson's Magnus Pack/Pride - interconnected families with human mates - humor

Nicky Charles' Law of the Lycans - separate society in human world police

Aline Hunter's Alpha and Omega has shifters and vamps

Deborah Cooke's Dragonfire - dragon shifters

Cynthia Eden's Purgatory - shifters and vamps

G.A. Aiken's Dragonkin - dragon shifters

Abigail Owen's- Shadowcat nation - shifter society

Paige Tyler's X-Ops - shifters work for govt w/ human partner live semi-openly

Paige Tyler's SWAT - (Special Wolf Attack Team) special unit of police officers hidden in human world

J.D. Tyler's Alpha Pack - Special Ops shifters tracking live semi openly track

Stephanie Tyler's Eternal Wolf Clan - last dire wolves on earth and they are immortal

PepperPot would you class Terry Spears in the same erotica type content as Lauren Dane?

no not at all.

Terry's has romance and a sex scene maybe two but with Lauren you the whole purpose is to get to the sex.

If I recommend I try to warn about that kind of thing so you aren't offended

That's great. Thanks, for some reason I had the idea they were full on erotica. Adding your rec to my ever growing TBR.

I thought I was the vamp queen but there's a ton of books listed here I haven't read yet. Crazy.

Great list. Two completed series that you really should try:

Meljean Brook's The Guardian series. (https://www.goodreads.com/series/4072...) Angels, demons, nosferatu, vamps. Epic finale. LOVE THIS.

Alyssa Day's Warriors of Poseidon series.

(https://www.goodreads.com/series/4231...) Cross genre. UF with a lot of action, but with a romance each book around each warrior. Atlanteans, gods/goddesses, vampires, shifters, fae. Great series arc.

@Garrett SOLIDARITY... You're not alone... another dude here... I've read TONS of the series listed here unless they didn't catch my fancy...

I'd recommend the rest of Ilona Andrews' catalogue:

-- PnR series that mainly takes place in a border realm between Earth and a magic realm
-- UF series set in a bed & breakfast, only vampires/werewolves/etc are alien races (some characters from Edge have crossed over so read after)
-- UF/PnR with an alt-history where people gained psychic powers in the 1800s... the rest of the trilogy comes out this month and in July

Nalini Singh also has -- large series in a world with 3 main factions: Psy, Changeling, and Human -- the first story arc ended around book 13 with the new one is just starting

I enjoyed the Vampire/Kitsune relationship in

Shelly Laurenston also has a Norse mythology PnR starting with -- Valkyries, Ravens, Giantslayers, etc set in Hollywood... typical Shelly Laurenston / GA Aiken humor

This series-starter by Ann Aguirre is my highest rated of hers to date: -- alt-world PnR where 3 supernatural factions are on the brink of war, and separated far north from Humans for a while now... 2nd book just came out in March

I prefer Elizabeth Hunter's Cambio Spring books over her Elemental World: -- PnR set in desert town near West Coast... settlers stumbled on a spring that makes people shape-shifters... plots stray close to Contemporary Romance... similar to Lynsay Sands Argeneau Vampire books: (If you read this series make sure to check the author's timeline, because the first 3-4 books were printed out of order)
